Drawing
An empty page, a handful of colours, and no opinion about what should end up on it.
Free
What it is
The simplest possible drawing tool: a blank area and a row of large colour buttons. No brushes to choose, no menus, nothing that can be tapped by accident and change everything.
It exists because sometimes a child doesn't want to fill in someone else's picture.
How to play
Pick a colour and draw with a finger. Pick another and keep going. That is the entire interface.
Nothing is scored, nothing is checked, and the page clears when your child wants a fresh one.
What it builds
Free mark-making is the first stage of writing. Long before letters, children need to discover that a hand movement leaves a trace and that the trace can be controlled.
It is also one of the few places in the app with no correct answer at all, which matters more than it sounds for a child who is used to being gently corrected all day.
Ages and pace
Any age in the range, and often the first thing a younger child does on their own. Sessions tend to be short, which is fine.
